Location
North of Beaverton, near Barnes Road
Participants
Plans
Go by after my Robotics event
Expedition
Expedition One
I went by, but in my first pass I couldn't get my GPS to line up with reality when my car started running out of gas. I found gas and then attempted to get some mapping info at a wifi hotspot, but it didn't help once I got out on the road.
I circled around on Barns Road looking for Miller Road, but never found it, and my mapping apps on my handheld weren't being helpful, and the hotspot I found at Starbucks wasn't working for me.
I gave up and came home.
Expedition Two
The next day I was in the area, so I tried again. This time, I did find Miller Road, and followed that up to the area of the hashpoint, and eventually to the right place. The hashpoint appears to be in a wooded creekbed running through the neighborhood, but it appeared to be private property and I didn't feel like asking the neighbors if I could try to access the hashpoint.
